Playing YOUR Decks with Maldhound and Megan | EDH Gameplay Ep 33

[@christianhatke477]

Maldhound might be one of my favorite new MTG creators

[@andrueurbane7361]

Is he an Mtg creator... Or did Mtg create Him? Regardless, he may just be the hero we need!

[@ravipun6714]

and the hottest not counting kibbler daddy

[@emperock9969]

He is great

[@mikemoyer8162]

It's a great pod for him too!

[@loganshaw4527]

That so tracks even he does not know what the cards do or what order to play them or "not play them"

[@insainraven9875]

I’m here for maldhound becoming a third unofficial host of the show

[@DandeloMarx]

Put him on retainer

[@malvadoboy]

Let's goooooooooo!

[@IanFerguson]

Maldhound is once again his own worst enemy

[@andrueurbane7361]

To be fair he is everyone's worst enemy. An upshot of his constantly telling his truth to all of our power fantasies... /s Still awesome on every level though. He's the first person I would hire to write my inner monologue if I won the lotto.

[@erikwilliams1562]

But he can get it

[@andrueurbane7361]

@@erikwilliams1562 Undeniably

[@pucifer92]

He was the worst enemy of fun game. I love the guy, his videos are amazing, but this was such bullshit. Gifted victory in the worst possible way. Like, bitch, I ain't gonna win your game for you, if you wanna kill me kill me, but you'll die next turn. You can't kill us both why would I help you??? It's like when someone cry kingmaking if I go down swinging. Yes, you can kill me, but there will be consequences, if those consequences prevent you, from winning then maybe you should rethink your move.

[@srirachasalad]

he saw a chance to touch cards and forgot about the repercussions

[@DagDog97]

at the end, i really thought Maldhound had ‘Teferi’s Protection’ 😂 that mortify really made me laugh 😂😂😂

[@Beelzebubba1983]

Glad to see you're still employed after the Hasbro/wotc layoffs Megan, can't wait to see more content with all my favorite online friends.. oh and Maldhound too I suppose LoL GG

[@Synced_OW]

This could have been recorded before the layoffs... I hope not though

[@laurelkeeper]

@@Synced_OWgiven the edit time on these sort of things, I’m guessing it almost certainly was.

[@arcangelelf]

Im so happy that Megan got to play my Karn deck, it was so much fun seeing it in action, im really happy she enjoyed it too

[@jesterking42]

AYYY it's The Bronze Panda! Let's Go!! 😁

[@no1hansolo]

Your Karn deck is gross 😂

[@N8Maple01]

That deck was sweet!

[@TwiddlersPlaceMTG]

No way!! That's so awesome bro!!

[@DandeloMarx]

Maldhound in a video? That video gets a click! Thanks for bringing him back DeckedOut!

[@DavidWalker-hw6co]

Great to see Maldhound again

[@Original-Yellow]

Mald had me scratching my head. But he agreed so its all good lol

[@maldhound]

I don’t know that I’ve ever felt regret SO quickly in my life

[@sontonnix]

I could swear Mald was going to Teferi's Protection after the Golem trigger, getting to 13 cards. Would have been sick

[@jacobd1984]

Maldaissance in full swing, as it should be.

[@lachlanmckeith]

YES MORE MALDHOUND

[@herman1850]

At 35:02, deepglow skate can double the counters on any number of TARGET permanents. The sword gives protection from Blue, so am I wrong to think that the equipped creature couldn't be targeted?

[@themightygunthorian]

I believe you are correct, yes. The equipped creature couldn't be a target

[@marquezFTW]

I really thought the 14th card in Maldhounds hand on his last turn was Teferi's protection and that's how he is going to win. That would have been epic!

[@Gizmonster94]

Conclave Mentor's own replacement effect can't affect itself entering the battlefield, it should have entered with only one +1/+1 counter. Source: CR 614.12, especially the sentence "Such effects may come from the permanent itself if they affect only that permanent (as opposed to a general subset of permanents that includes it)"

[@snowfy5]

Wow i really love the idea of playing the community's decks. Magic is a game where we all get to pick our pieces and create a landscape on our side of the field, and this is a great way to share the ideas of the community

[@ImGamerDad]

Too much power in Maldhound's hands!!! :) Also, Karn is on my list of decks to build, so fun to watch it in action.

[@mw3fanboy6]

The Mald Empire continues to expand as planned

[@jthrone7768]

This is by far the most tame and hinged version of MaldHound I’ve ever seen.

[@VestigeX3]

i believe you cant pay life with lich's mastery once you're at 0, you can only pay life you actually have

[@alicetheaxolotl]

That is correct

[@verianlewolf2417]

veggie fucking lobotomized maldhound with the quad trigger

[@Beckola44]

Those are all very interesting decks and well played by all of you. That colorless deck is really good. Thank you MTG Nerd Girl, Maldhound, Megan, and Veggie Wagon for the video.

[@mightyone3737]

Really enjoyed the guests, it's probably pretty trippy to see someone else try to play your deck!

[@simplegarak]

Awesome! I've been wanting to see GameKnights do something like this for awhile - nice to see you all giving the public some love! 🤗💖

[@eldunae922]

I run a deck with the same idea than the one Maldhound does, but is Orzhov and lead by Verrak, Sengir Aberration. Still very cool seeing someone try the same general idea. When it works, is hilarious

[@Abunai_Gaming]

Ahhhhh, when I saw the Karn Legacy Reforged in the thumbnail i was really hoping it was my build that got chosen! Oh well, mine is not optimized in the slightest, im sure Bronze Panda's build is much better than my own, guess I got more reasons to watch, possibly steal some tech cards i didn't know about.

[@arcangelelf]

My deck took a while to get optimized, i started with the only artifacts i could scrap by, now its on a much better state, and you are always welcome to check any updates i made to the deck on moxfield under the name BronzePanda :)

[@murpl1462]

Mald hound is such a silly little bean this game, surely he is not planning a nefarious bait and switch.

[@graefx]

Maldhound rubbing his chest and saying "But I am deeply petty" is a whole vibe.

[@billberndtson]

01:10 Hi Megan! I hope you're still a game designer at Wizards of the Coast. 🙂

[@erichorton3901]

Timing is everything eh?

[@matthewmccreight9854]

i thought for sure he held up teferis protection, when it turned out to be mortify.... just mortified....

[@decakebaker]

I love Maldhound showing up on your show

[@jsfalconer92]

36:17 The heirarch would die when they dealt damage to veggie from the Mikaeus trigger. Not that it matters.

[@simplegarak]

Also full points to Maldhound for that *Reboot* reference around the 5 min mark. I appreciated it!

[@hemalgiac]

I'm glad to see a Runo commander deck in action. I have one myself and I love it, but it never wins. Just not enough means of protection, and it just swings hard. Amazing video and game as usual! ❤

[@PandaKnight-FightingDwagon]

finally MaldHound doesn't pop off too early, but not hard enough to win, and avoids getting focused immediately

[@noah2508]

Love the Rule 0 Sisterhood of Karn snuck into Megan's deck!

[@caseywellington4761]

That was in Nerdgirl’s deck

[@themightygunthorian]

@34:06 I don't think you can sacrifice the 4 vampires there because the trigger from Lich's Tomb would happen before the vampires are created from Elenda.. is that right?

[@isaiahwelch8066]

As far as I can tell, the trigger from Elenda is resolving when the life is paid. While the Lich's Tomb does get triggered because Mald paid life, that "sac a permanent from each 1 life lost" would wait to go on the stack and resolve _after_ Elenda creates the Vampire Knight tokens. The reason? You can't interrupt the resolution of abilities on the stack once they begin to resolve. There is no "space" or "time" for the game to put something on the stack, until the current spell or ability to resolve does so, since a resolution also gives a player priority to respond to something still on the stack that would resolve next, such as the Lich's Tomb trigger. Which means that Mald would then sac 4 permanents because he paid 4 life. In other words, Mald played that end of turn stack correctly.

[@themightygunthorian]

Ahh ok that makes sense. So since Elena has already started to resolve, it must finish resolving before anything else is put on the stack. These triggered abilities with costs associated to them are a little tricky I must admit

[@isaiahwelch8066]

@@themightygunthorian : Actually, in Elenda's case, it's a choice. Had Mald not paid the 4 life, nothing else would have happened. All you have to remember is that while Elenda's trigger still has a cost, there is no cost to activate or put it on the stack. Had the ability been worded, "Pay 4 life :", that colon, the double-dot, would have meant that was the cost to activate and put the ability on the stack. In which case, Lich's Tomb would have triggered and resolved before Elenda's ability would resolve, and the interaction would have gone the way your question was worded. How things work with the stack is important, and in this case, Elenda and Azor are more powerful than people give them credit for.

[@mattwylie6651]

Maldhound!

[@xanderjones6239]

Maldhound showing up more is a dream come true. The command zone needs to take notes 📝

[@Phantoki]

Soooo happy to see Gyruda!! One of my favorite creatures

[@calvinmobley9628]

Manifold key is one of my favorites. Honestly such a slept on card.

[@Rantheracoon]

That was a fun match to watch. Love to see more with the peeps.

[@furyrage2011]

Maldhound has the type of MTG humour I like

[@kallahcreates6942]

My takeaway from this game... we need to ban more Karns. Also it helps to remember you get two main phases per turn, but that's probably less important.

[@nycstreetpoet]

I think this is the first time on any commander show I’ve seen where Maldhound didn’t die first.

[@loganshaw4527]

So not only a miss play it was a double miss play. While having a card that says if you have "number of cards you win" did not have the number of card how?!?!?!?

[@andrueurbane7361]

Syr Pur flu Louis. What a a wonderful name for a Kitty Kat Knight.

[@galford90]

Man, Maldhound is the best, lol. More episodes with him please

[@RogueDemon900]

Maldhound is the goat, I love every video I’ve seen him in tbh

[@VeggieWagon]

We don’t talk about Runo triggers

[@fancydot9658]

Lets not do that, yes

[@moedark4390]

When I saw Megan I knew she already won cause ive only seen her play busted decks

[@DeckedOutEDH]

Honestly I believe it's that she's an extremely strong player and makes everything look busted, not the other way around. -Airball

[@jasonr.2506]

Love seeing wizards staff playing so have Megan on more.

[@TheJocularJurist]

Oh hey, I recognize Cats and Cantrips tokens anywhere!! Best tokens ever

[@HiiiMao]

What Patreon tier is it to view your members only videos?

[@DeckedOutEDH]

Sadly members videos are different from patreon perks. But you can join here on KZbin for 4.99.

[@alexsorrentino1576]

Paying 4 life is the cost of Azor and Elenda's ability, so at 34:00 you have to sacrifice permanents before tokens are created. I'm I wrong?

[@isaiahwelch8066]

No. The "pay 4 life" is a cost that is already resolving when the Lich's Tomb triggers. The Lich's Tomb trigger waits to go on the stack until after Elenda's EOT trigger resolves -- which means that the Vampire Knight creature tokens are already on the field when the Lich's Tomb trigger resolves. The reason why is because you can't interrupt an ability resolution once it begins resolving. Mald played it right.

[@ElementWrath]

That Gyruda whiff was paaaaainful. Was rooting for something cool off the doubled triggers. Better luck next time Veggie!

[@stevematthews4473]

I thought we’d have a spicy Lich deck, instead it was just mald.

[@latias00latios]

Can we talk about how megan consistently forgot that her sol ring in her mana was an artifact and never got her mana from karn for it

[@lucasmarcellus7539]

Great channel instant subscriber here, you guys make a great show you will rise to the tops like the other good channels ,,,,,,cheers from Canada

[@matthewwoods2638]

copies make with krothusare tapped and attacking, since veggie didnt catch on to it. Krothus is my main deck with a very easy to hit infinite due in part to my many blue tutors and the ability to have a non legendary copy of krothus making infinite krothus tapped and attacking

[@malachifreedman3975]

5:26 Why does Maldhound seem to me like a slightly different version of Finn?

[@Pumapeach]

That’s what you get for not playing the copy I gave you nerdgirl sisterhood gets stolen.

[@youtubemobilegaming]

Sad that my deck wasnt picked but I understand it when seeing how unique these decks were. Very interesting decks. The colorless deck though imo was the least interesting. Colorless seems to be very strong right now as there is so much crazy ramp and high hitting colorless creatures.

[@sanga1380]

We uh...just gonna keep Krothuss hanging free and wild like that huh? Aight

[@Hardest-Clipz]

Yes! MALDHOUND!!

[@rashaunhoh]

I am curios, I thought the karn's mana cannot be use to cast nonartifact spells. That means she won't be able to use that mana to cast an artifact creature like the meteor golem. Megan has cast a myr retriver using karn's mana as well. I have a karn deck and I would like to know as it will changed how I pilot the deck. Note: it doesn't affect the game anyways

[@Lmo777]

Both meteor golem and myr retriever have the type line of "Artifact Creature", and count as artifacts. If they were only typed as "Creature" then you would be correct.

[@DeckedOutEDH]

Thank you both for asking good questions and being helpful and kind in your answer.

[@rashaunhoh]

@@Lmo777Cheers, however i am still confused as it now includes both subtypes. I thought nonartifacts means purely artifacts only. As in if it has a creature subtypes, therefore the mana is not able to do that as you are casting an artifact creature rather just artifact.

[@isaiahwelch8066]

​@@rashaunhoh: Not true. When a term has "non" as a prefix, such as "nonartifact," then all it cares about is if the spell does not have "artifact" on the supertype line (where you find types such as artifact, creature, or land on a card). Thus, "Artifact Creature" still counts as both an artifact _and_ as a creature.

[@rashaunhoh]

@@isaiahwelch8066 amazing, thank youuu!!!

[@MatthewGlatfelter]

The copy's Krothuss makes come in tapped and attacking. Gotta read the card.

[@camerondomer]

Veggie, you're even using the same copy tokens. On turn 4 it looks like you're having fun. That stays right?

I'd kinda like the monthly token, but I also want to see the exclusive videoes, and can only do one. Does youtube membership help in getting weekly episodes, or is that only revenue from Patreon?

[@DeckedOutEDH]

It does help us get to weekly. We add them together for the goal. Patreon adds more to the goal as they take a smaller cut. But you will need to decide what perk is better for you.

@@DeckedOutEDH really i thought it kept its mc on cast once its resolved so would its mc be 0?

[@DeckedOutEDH]

@galbatorix8596 when it is cast it would be 12, but once resolved it does go back to 0. So something like Austere Command would hit this on three or less.

[@isaiahwelch8066]

​​@@DeckedOutEDH: Exactly. Think about it like this too: If, say, you cast Fireball at X = 12, and tried to get it back from the yard and your recursion effect cares about mana value of 3 or less, then you could get Fireball back as it has a mana value of 1. The same thing is true for Sevinne's Reclamation or Sun Titan: Both can recur Hangarback Walker from the graveyard as well, since the Walker has a mana value of 0.
